Republic of China Part 2--Jiangxi Soviet to End of Second Civil War/Birth of PRC

More rested now.
By Monday, Read Wasserstrom on Republic of China, pp. 38-49. Some will be repetitive, but the Long March section to the end is new. (Note this is the book you used for the Opium War to Fall of Qing. You downloaded it last week. Here's an extract of just the assiged pages, if you want it.)

Also watch these clips:

1. The Long March Part One:



2. The Long March, Part Two: Crossing the Grasslands (this is just horrifying)




WW II: Japan Invades: Xi'an Incident: : Should Chiang have fought Japan?




Japan's "Rape of Nanking"



Japan's "Burn All, Kill All, Loot All" campaign (The "Three Alls" Campaign) and the Second United Front (stop at 8.40)



I'm exhausted. Schedule about an hour of documentary watching for the weekend. We'll have a seminar and possible short quiz on it on Monday. I'll have the video clips and study guide up by Friday 3 pm. You won't have to do any text reading. The entire ROC content will be taken from the video and the overview lecture and study guide.


Check back Friday.
